14 DAY TRIAL // The Sony team that created MLB 14 The Show announces that its baseball simulation title, running on the PlayStation 4 home console, is predicting that the National League will win the upcoming All-Star Game against the American League.
This is the 85th edition of the game that pits the best players in the world against one another, and the company says that it will be a spectacular game, with some of the key moments shown in the video attached to this article.
Sony states on its official PS Blog that “It took three and a third innings for the scoring to start, and with back-to-back doubles from Carlos Gomez and Andrew McCutchen in the top of the 4th, the NL got on the board first. The AL responded in the bottom half of the inning when Andrew Jones singled, stole second, and hustled home on a Josh Donaldson base hit.”
Alex Gordon then scored in order to tie the game at 3, and for the first time since 2008, extra innings were needed in order to determine the result of the All-Star Game, which is used to decide which team will have home field advantage in the World Series of baseball.
Sony adds, “The Reds’ Todd Frazier was the hero for the NL in the top of the 10th as he launched a two-run home run to straight away center to put his team on top 5-3. In the bottom of the 10th, Frazier’s teammate Aroldis Chapman shut the door and earned the National League a 5-3 win, and home field advantage in the 2014 World Series.”
MLB 14 The Show is the only baseball sim available on the PlayStation 4 home console from Sony, and the company says that it is working hard to improve the overall game experience, taking a lot of suggestions from the player base.
A patch for the game has already been completed and is currently in the final stages of testing before it can be delivered to players.
MLB 14 The Show is a complex simulation that uses the power of the PlayStation 4 to deliver improved graphics and physics and to create a deeper set of options for the player to explore.
The game world has a long history of using high-profile franchises to predict the result of real world sports events, and recently EA Sports successfully used its own FIFA 14 to name Germany as the winner of the 2014 Brazil World Cup.
